Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW)

Founded in 1975 as successor of the "Fachhochschule Hamburg", Hamburg University of Applied Sciences Hamburg is still dedicated to a combined education both with a theoretical and practical focus.

Thus, since many years the alumni of HAW are most wanted employees in the greater area of Hamburg as well as nation and worldwide.

Institute for Energy Systems and Fuel Cell Technology

The scientific focus of the Institute for Energy Systems and Fuel Cell Technology at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg) is the analysis and development of energy effective systems. The connection between thermodynamic system understanding and the processes of electrochemical energy conversion is of great importance.

Part of the Laboratory for Fuel Cells and Redox Flow Batteries

One focal point of the IEB are questions concerning fuel cell technologies. Basic research as well as studies towards the industrial implementation have been carried out.

The increasing significance of electrochemical conversion processes led to an additional key aspect in IEB’s work, research and development of redox flow battery systems.
